Biologically grounded neocortex computational primitives implemented on neuromorphic hardware improve vision transformer performance

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 41, October 2025. <br/>SignificanceWe implement a biologically grounded cortical circuit motif in neuromorphic hardware and AI architectures to show how experimentally informed neocortical computations, realized through cell-type-specific soft winner-take-all (sWTA) dynamics, …
